FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I register on Tinsley Island?After you have docked, please register HERE. You can also use the on-Island registration stations located at the Lanai Bar and at the West Dock Bathhouse.

Does the island offer storage for galley items and perishables?
Yes. When cooking your meals on the Island, you may store your galley items in the lockers in the galley area instead of taking them back and forth to your boat. Members may padlock and place their boat or family name on a locker. Lockers are available on a first-come/first-served basis beginning March 1.

There are refrigerators and freezers in the galley area, and they fill up quickly. You will need a milk crate or a plastic container with your boat or family name for your perishables. If you have a refrigerator on your boat, please use that and leave the Island’s facilities free for those who do not access to a personal refrigerator.
